PTP Personal Tax products
have scooped one of the most coveted prizes in the tax industry
beating off stiff competition to win the ‘Best Tax Software’ award
in the LexisNexis Taxation Awards 2008.
Now in its
eighth year, the Taxation Awards are held in association with
LexisNexis and honour those organisations that have made an
outstanding contribution in the field of taxation.
The awards are recognised as the ‘gold standard’ for tax teams
throughout the UK. To win the ‘Best Tax Software’ award, PTP had to
demonstrate a proven ability to provide reliable and accurate
software that assists tax advisers in their work. Judges look
primarily for ease of use, a unique approach and an innovative
attitude.
Great importance is placed on re-investing back into R&D to
ensure PTP continue to offer its users technological innovation and
advanced functionality. The company is also able to take advantage
of the backing and support provided by IRIS, the largest privately
owned software business in the UK.
The win confirms the results of independent research carried out
by the ICAEW in 2007 where PTP’s Personal
Tax product, PTP Tax Return, achieved the
highest overall rating coming top overall in terms of performance;
ease of use and on going support. The survey also shows that PTP is
growing its market share at the expense of its competitors
including Digita and Sage.
Paul Onions, Operations Director said “The level of competition
tonight was extremely high but I am thrilled that the judges
recognise the unique approach PTP takes to tax software. We always
aim to deliver the highest levels of service to our customers. The
latest software release has been challenging, not just for us but
for the whole industry due to the wholesale changes to the tax
forms by HMRC, and we do appreciate the patience shown by our
customers on the support lines.”
PTP Tax software literally grew out of the lecture room and
incorporates many suggestions made by tax practitioners and
accountants; a factor which has helped to encourage loyalty to the
package and has helped it to achieve one of the highest retention
rates in the industry.
